BEREAVEMENT:
This is a state of grieving in which we go through a grief reaction. Bereaved people often neglect their health. Bereavement tend to affect the patient and their families. The reaction of both the dying and the grief are the same. People grieving may require additional care due to negligence of their health for a long time. I understand this very well. I recalled that when my beloved senior brother died I didn’t take care of myself for more than one month because his death was overwhelming for me. I couldn’t bear the pain.
